 > And what about shortcodes that add content with html markup? I still see
 a lot of cases with forms, etc where this won't work.

 Good point about shortcodes. The `wpautop` function is going to run on the
 `widget_text_content` filter at priority 10. This is ''after'' the
 `widget_text` filter applies. So if you have a plugin that add shortcode
 handling to the Text widget (since shortcodes are not processed by default
 in core) then it's true that `wpautop` could cause problems. So probably
 the solution here is to add another condition to the legacy mode detection
 to include the case when a shortcode is detected.

 Plugins that add shortcode support for the Text widget should use the
 `widget_text_content` filter at priority 11, in the same way that core
 applies shortcodes on the `the_content` filter at priority 11, whereas
 `wpautop` runs at priority 10.

 Patch has been updated on that ticket to implement this:
